Daniel Ricciardo has been handed a Red Bull lifeline after team principal Christian Horner confirmed there was an offer there for him to remain a part of the team.

“Daniel grew up with Red Bull. He's taking some time out at the moment, but he'd be very welcome anytime to be part of whatever role he's elected to want to get involved in,” Horner said.

“He has a massive profile, and you're a long-time retired.

"So, if he chose to want to get involved in some activities in the US in any way, it's something we'd be very open to.”
